Fort Wayne Indiana - General Motors Truck Assembly Plant

We have set up plans for the Fort Wayne Tour and hotel reservations for Tuesday Night! When we get closer we will decide on a time for the tour, preferably in the morning.  If you are staying in Fort Wayne Tuesday night before the tour here's the hotel info:

Fort Wayne, IN  46825, US

The rooms are $49.95, which is a good rate, and they said that we could get them all close together on the main floor.  Also, a continental breaky is available.  This hotel is at the intersection north of the plant and has a Wally World close by as well as many restaurants for us.

 After staying at a B&B overnight we will tour Maker's Mark Distillery in the morning.  We can stop for lunch then move onto Bowling Green or find if we can find an interesting place to visit in the area we can go there.   After the tour we will drive down to Bowling Green to the Holiday Inn to check in and grab some dinner.

If you would like to stay in the Bowling Green area for a few more days please visit http://bg.ky.net/Tourism for attractions in the area.

Also, Beech Bend has an excellent amusement park and water slide area to visit, as well as camping.

Please don't feel like these plans are your obligation, if you and your family wish to make other plans that is fine.  This was just put together for anyone wanting to stay in a group.  The more the merrier!
